As the
movement of thoughts from East to West seem to increase, it is high time to
realize the opportunities of a multipolar world and seriously consider all
existing human experiences and knowledge systems. The present conference and
PhD workshop will limit itself to Western and Asian experiences, in an effort
of bringing the two into a creative and fruitful dialogue. In light of this,
area studies and the different disciplines need to come together and share insights
and identify theoretical and methodological approaches that might strike a
reasonable balance between universal concerns and particular cultural
understandings.
